Description of problem: I made a video to explain it better https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JLckORVQSxI metadata is the files that contain information about repositories. as you can see in the video I posted , the problem is that metadata files are downloaded twice.. one for dnf and one for packagekit. I have limited and slow internet connection . the repositories metadata is about 70 megabytes which is very pain full to download. the problem is that dnf and packagekit(gnome software-center) each one have I'ts own metadata , so the same metadata files are duplicated two times in two places /var/cache/PackageKit/ and /var/cache/dnf/ which wastes my internet bandwidth. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 3.18.3-1.fc23 How reproducible: start the gnome software center Steps to Reproduce: 1.start the gnome software center Actual results: It downloads large metadata files around ~70 MB Expected results: use the same dnf metadata Additional info: this only happens in fedora , in other distros like ubuntu If I start the gnome software center it uses the same apt metadata.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 23 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 23. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '23'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 23 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
